Here's an old construction tip. Bolt a plate where you can see it. Hang a free swinging arrow straight down and mark that point as the tractor sits on level ground. With a protractor, make a mark at each side of the arrow at 10 degrees, 15 and 20. When you get sideways on a slope, check the angle and remember it. If it is giving you that queasy feeling, make the plate bright red from that point on. Never let the tractor get tilted into the red. One more thing. Pull down hill when ever possible. There are lots of ways to roll a tractor, all will ruin your day. I've only rolled once. I was scrambling when the fender hit me in the rump and threw me 20 feet. I was in a ditch that I had mowed hundreds of times. Scares the you-know-what out of you. Be careful out there.
